Just got my date June 1st!!
Hey all June 1sters... I'm right here w/ you. I live in Bakersfield, CA - South of Fresno. Today is the last day I can eat solid food. Kinda struggling w/ that whole kick, ya know? But, I've been preparing liquid wise for the past 4 weeks. I started the shakes then and have been on a 1200 calorie diet only to have lost 5 lbs. w/ daily hour exercise. FRIEND ME. I think it would be cool if all the people who posted for the same day could friend each other and we could then literally be on the same page so to speak. I know for me I have a myriad of feelings at this time. I'm VERY emotional. Kinda feel like I'm losing an old friend. Grateful to know I'll be reinventing this body from scratch in a sense and very nervous/excited. What about you?
Well, I have a pretty strict regimen which = a total of 800 calories.
Breakfast:
8oz Soy Milk mixed w/ a Bariatric Protein which has no carbs or sugar (ie. Matrix or Nectar by Syntrax). The are actually REALLY good and pretty filling w/ the soy milk. (I like the Silk Soy Milk)
10oz. of a V8 for some carbs (I like the V8 vusions)- u can change this up w/ the new Diet Blue Berry/Pomegrante Ocean Spray and water it down.
1/2 cup sugar free jello ( you know the kind they sell pre made at the store).
Lunch:
Same protein shake
1 cup of (beef, chicken or vegetable broth)
another thing of jello
Dinner:
Same protein shake
1 cup of broth again
1 sugar free popsicle
Drink LOTS OF WATER!!!!! You should literally be sucking something down all day.
Make sure you take multivitamins and calcium prior to surgery and B12 (for energy). I get the shots biweekly from my doctor.
Then,I am told to walk an hour a day. I'm dropping weight fast. Luckily I have a free dietician for life w/ the program I am on. I thought I was going to die at first, but it's really not that bad now and I'm on my 4th day. They also recommend going to Costco in the liquid vitamin section they have these things called Body Choice Protein Weight Loss Shots that look like they are in large viles and are about 25g. of protein. There are about 16-20 in a pack and cost about $20 bucks for the a pack of those. I got 2 for after surgery. My biggest fear is losing my beautiful hair :) They have different flavors w/ all the protein powders (I like the Cappiccino, Strawberry Cream and Fuzzy Navel). Also, get some flavored water w/ carbs and minerals. I have also been told to stock up on crystal light. That is my new soda, since I cannot have carbonation anymore. Just stock up on broth too and sugar free popsicles, jello for after surgery. I also heard that when you have this operation your monthly comes more often and usually right away and is different than ever before, so be sure to have plenty of feminine supplies (just in case, I am bringing them to the hospital). I hope this helps a bit. Keep me posted. I'm driven like a mad woman ;)
